This is a game that's sure to satisfy longtime fans of the series — but it also has the potential to grow its audience considerably. If players have never been able to get into a sim racing game before, Forza Motorsport 6 is a great place to start, but there's...
Fortunately, Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain is a very addictive game, so a few hours of repetition doesn't cause too much pain. Whether completing tense missions, gathering upgrades for your base, or kidnapping soldiers (or mountain goats for that matter), it's simply brilliant entertainment that's good for dozens...
Whether it's the engrossing gameplay, endearing character designs or light-hearted plot, Freedom Planet will likely offer something that puts a smile on your face. Plus, it's probably the best Sonic game we're likely to receive for the foreseeable future, even without the presence of the blue-haired hedgehog himself.
Super Mario Maker stands on its own because of its easy to use creation tools. Sharing a self-made level is a blast, and watching criticism and kudos pour in from other players is genuinely satisfying thanks to moderation from the Big N. Still, the lack of checkpoints can prove to be brutal...
Gears of War: Ultimate Edition is an extremely familiar game that manages to feel new thanks to The Coalition's vision for a fresher Gears. Just when something begins to feel stale the game changes and provides players with a wholly unique task or a gigantic set piece to draw them...
You should keep an eye on this game if you're a fan of this genre. We have to scold Nippon Ichi Software America (NISA) again for removing the Japanese audio, leaving us only with the new English voiceover, but perhaps we should be glad it was released here at all.
Having said that, few games have influenced me in the way Final Fantasy X has. The dialogue, the music, the beautiful CGI scenes, the incredible directing and the combination of these is simply overwhelming at times. In spite of the disappointing lip-syncing and a shortage of new content, it's good...
Splatoon is a game that will flourish based entirely on the number of continued users it maintains and the prowess of its online system, the latter of which was hit or miss during our pre-release playtest sessions. Still, this unique take on the shooter genre is one that shouldn't be missed by...

Thankfully, Not A Hero makes players want to take on all comers. Roll7 has made an addictive, if occasionally frustrating, title that packs plenty of punch, and the satisfaction felt when completing a level is terrific. Not A Hero may not constantly tickle the funny bones, but its lighthearted satirical moments and...
Those are rare occurrences, however. For the most part, Invisible, Inc. functions perfectly, and when all the pieces are working together, there's no feeling quite like it. Carrying a wounded agent who possesses some vital info to the extraction point, enemy guards hot on your heels, is exhilarating; successfully pulling the escape...
That is, of course, a minor criticism, and it shows just how effective a title PixelNAUTS has created. Lost Orbit is a highly addictive, free-flowing gem that manages to toe that marginal line between challenge and frustration. The game may prove too short for some, but Lost Orbit is nonetheless...
